Our Spring term.
The spring term was a very busy one for us all. We have developed our skills in reading and writing and we are now much more confident to try independently. We have developed our knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We have learnt about position and using words to describe this. This term we have focused on learning about different transport and knights and castles. We looked at how things were in the past compared to now. We have travelled to space and compared our environment to another one. We developed our bike riding skills by taking part in tots on tyres. This term we have also learnt to brush our teeth and now do this every day as a group. We finished the term by learning about London and what it is like to live in a Castle. This term we have developed an understanding of special stories linked to different faiths as well as what holy books are special. We have learnt about the rights and responsibilities we have. It has been a fantastic term in Reception!
Stay and learn
We had a lovely time at our spring stay and learn session. Thank you to all those families who attended.
Top Tip
Our top tip this week- When walking to school or to the park talk about the different features you can see. Where is the sky? Where is the grass? Where is the bark on a tree? Where is land? Where is water?
Our letter formation rhymes are below. Have a practice at home.

How our curriculum looks...
We use Development Matters to support our curriculum, this is alongside all statutory elements of the EYFS. We base our provision on common play behaviours and we ensure progression from Nursery to the end of Reception. To support this progression we have a vocabulary and skills progression document. All of these feed into our weekly planning, alongside our ongoing assessment of children's progress, next steps and interests. We use Red Rose Letters and Sounds for our phonics curriculum. We use Red Rose Mastery Maths and NCETM for our mathematics curriculum. Please ask if you would like to see these planning documents.
